Summary:                    [patch] Generate VMWI line reversal from FXS module
to light LED on newer 'non intellegent phone'
Description: 
Added initial fundamental support to manipulate FXS line to generate
Message Waiting Indication. Still supports sending FSK as has been
supported for years.

Discovered undocumented parameter 'mwisendtype' in chan_dahdi.conf which
can only be 'rpas' Ring Pulse Alert Signal at the moment.

Intention is to use this field with parameters as follows;
   'fsk' or undefined for exisiting FSK only support.
   'none' no FSK spill heard every second time you go off hook.
   'rpas' for existing support ring pulse before FSK
   'lrev' line reversed while messages exist
   'hvdc' high voltage, 90Vdc idle voltage
   'hvac' high voltage neon generation, Following Silicb AN33

If DAHDI_SETPOLARITY ioctl was changed to a channel variable, fxstest would
still work.

DAHDI_SETPOLARITY does seems deterministic, as the VMWI code I implemented
followed the reversepolarity logic and I haven't faulted VMWI yet.

The question is, when do you see it as not being deterministic?
I think the answer is, The line will only reflect the appropriate polarity
after going off-hook then on-hook.
